I imagine it was really something to arrive at that terminal downtown and step out to a meeting like that.
- TheSpiceIsLife 8y agoI’m confused. $75 for a train to London from where?
- sdrothrock 8y agoToronto, Ontario to London, Ontario is about 190 km ($75 nowadays) Toronto, Ontario to Edmonton, Alberta is about 3300 km (under $100 then) So I think this was a comment on the huge increase in fare prices.
- cmrdporcupine 8y agoTo be fair it was _just_ under $100 and that was with some sort of last minute standby fare. I showed up at the station in downtown Edmonton w/ my mom, got the cheapest ticket I could, gave her a kiss, and here I am still in Ontario 19 years later, and working at Google.

- 52-6F-62 8y agoSorry. The other commenter is spot on. From Toronto.
- TheSpiceIsLife 8y agoAs an uninformed antipodean, thanks for clearing that up.
- 52-6F-62 8y agoHaha. No worries. When there's finally a thread featuring Canada I tend to forget myself.
